I've been working on this all night. I'm stuck exporting about 5 - 10 second batches and it still crashes on occasion, but I'm at 1:40 out of 4:14 so some small progress. I have optomize stills checked and it really does nothing. It's just gonna be a LONG process. I just hope this video dosen't suck in the end with all this trouble.

I did that for "The Place We Promised" and I ended up making clips from about 90% of the movie. I use AVS because it is easier to rip them apart in Premiere since I never know what I'm going to edit until I get working so it is impossible for me to make clips beforehand.

Unless you are suggesting that I make clips of all my cuts and replace the avs files with them which I have done with some of the impossible clips.

does it still crash when exporting a file when nearly everything has been commented out? Because if it doesn't you could always export it from premiere unfiltered and then put it into virtualdubmod and filter it there.

It never crashed when I exported without the filters, but then again, I was exporting beta copies using Windows Media Video 9 Codec so I don't know if using Huffy put a massive strain on my Memory.

The problem is that with my source I'm using the television episodes and the two theatrical movies. Some of the earlier volumes of the tv series are very bad looking with terribly faded colors, massive rainbowing, dot crawl, you name it, but it gets better once we get past volume 12 of 18 when the new arc begins. The movies require only minimal filtering to sharpen, color correct, and remove a little noise. So unless I wanted to destroy the good clips while trying to fix the bad ones. I was stuck having to export full quality AVS files.
